What you will learn

Below is an outline of the course material you will study:

Unit 1: Child development from conception to 7 years

In this unit, you’ll learn about the stages, sequences, and theories of development, from conception, all the way to childhood. You’ll explore what makes a healthy pregnancy, the factors that might influence fetal development, and exactly what influences the health and behaviour of a child as they learn and grow. Next, you’ll study the role of the practitioner, and the impact they can have upon learning about physical, cognitive, and language development. You’ll discover the importance of developing a close working relationship with parents and colleagues, as well as which professionals you should go to for help when you need it.

Unit 2: Children's health and well-being

In this unit, you’ll look at the ways you can support children’s needs and wellbeing. You’ll look at the ways in which attachments and secure relationships are formed, as well as gain a solid understanding of ‘attachment theory’. You’ll explore everything the effect a child’s environment has on their physical wellbeing, the importance of sleep, and SIDS risk factors. Finally, you’ll delve into diet and nutrition, how to plan a weaning programme, and the benefits of exercise for children.

Course Outcome

At the end of this course, successful learners will receive the following qualification: NCFE CACHE Level 3 Award in Childcare and Education.
